Pride & Prejudice Movie 2

Characters in books might seem different to the reader when they watch the movie. Long ago I read Harry Potter: and the Chamber of Secrets, I read it before watching any of the movies and I had a different view of Hermione Granger, one of the main characters. I imagined her like a geek (phisically). In the movie she is a geek mentally but phisically she is not. Even her name changed I thought it was said Ger-me-on instead of Her-ma-yo-nie. In other cases like in the Twilight saga I imagined an Edward similar to the one of the movie and it did not do a lot of difference.

When I read Pride & Prejudice, I had a different view of Mrs. Bennet. Eventhough in the movie she appears as a selfish, superficial and proud women but, Wright (director) showed her as a women with long and dirty clothes. My prediction of Mrs. Bennet in the movie was of a classy tall women but Wright showed her as a small and anoying women. However the role that Brenda Bethlyn played as Mrs. Bennet was very good. For example when she is telling Mr. Bennet that Elizabeth rejected Mr. Collins proposal and wanted Mr. Bennet to "Come and talk to her..." she is so worried about that, she will try to do anything to get her daughter married .

On the other hand Jane (Rosamund Pike) was what I expected. She is sensible, for example when she recived Mr. Bingley`s letter. The description used in the book "..." is very similar to the one in the movie. She looks like something had stabbed her and her world ended. In the movie we can see how she didn`t feel that coming eventhough we actually do not know if she really loves Mr. Bingley because in the book never tells.

Pride & Prejudice Movie 1

The first scene of the movie describes what the story is about. Five sisters spying on the new guy on the newighborhood. They begin talking about him eventhough they do not know him. The five girls seem inocent of spying, this still foreshadows the story.

Troughtout this book there are many scenes of prejudice for example at the ball. Mr. Darcy liked Elizabeth and instead of talking to her he would listen to what she would say " he looked at her only to criticize". Can you see? Even Mr. Darcy has prejudice. When he met her at the ball he was criticizing her without even knowing her. The prejudice is something that is in everyone in this book. By the end of the story these two character realize that they actually liked each other.

Prejudice can lead you to many things. It can separate you from a friendship. Sometimes people have prejucide because they feel jelousy towards that person. Even I judge people when I don`t know them and sometimes it is because they have somthing I want. It could be a pice of cloting or just because they are pretty.

Pride & Prejudice 13- 16

The interest is something that attracts people a lot. Besides, people do things they do not want to for interest, money or a pay-back. Mr. Collins a character from Pride & Prejudice is an interested character from the Bennet family "Mr. collins was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been little assisted by educating..." (Austen 52). The Bennets dislike him, he is there just to see if he can marry one of the five daughters and keep the inheritence of Mr. Bennet. When people do things for interest it seems that they do not care of how they do it  " Mr. Collins had only to change from Jane to Elizabeth " (Austen 53). This quote shows how Collins changed of lady in such a short period of time. To mary someone you need to be inlove. Collins is not inlove, he is after the money and this quote showed how much he does not care that he would marry any of the sisters. Today people get married for money, the don`t care who, they only go after the money.

Simultaneously Mrs. Bennet is happy for one of her daughter getting married to Collins eventhough she dislikes him "Mrs. Bennet treasured up the hint, and trusted that she might soon have two daughters married..." (Austen 53). The only interest that she has with her daughters is getting them married and showing the society how a correct family she has. In some cultures daughters have their wedding arranged by their parents and they cannot do anything about it, their voice is not heard.

Pride & Prejudice 9-12

Pride, something that classify`s others. I had pride when I fell off my horse and stood up and rode him again. I also have pride when I argue with someone, I do  not ask for forgiveness unless it is something grave. Elizabeth is the second daughter and she is inteligent, logical and has a lot of pride.

When she whent to visit Jane at Netherfield she got in an arguement with Mr. Darcy "he merley answered her question, and read on" (Austen 41). Darcy seems to have a lot of pride and Austen portrays hims as someone with a pride and he is too cool for school, he likes to be begged. Yet in the arguement both of them have pride and the environment they live in has created their personality " vanity is a weekness indeed. But pride-where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation" (Austen 43).

Inglorious Basterds, a movie that I loved showed the pride that Germans had when they were going to get killed. Leutetent Aldo Raine (Pitt) is an american soldier that hates the Nazis and when he captures some germans he tries to manipulate them but they have a lot of pride that they won`t tell him a word eventhough they have consecuences.

Pride & Prejudice 5-8

Jane started falling in love with Mr. Bingley. Somehting different that I noticed that differed her from her mother was the humbleness she had towards it. She did not feel superior than her other sisters for dancing two times with Bingley at the ball. Humbleness is something that not everyone has and is something hard to have. Usually people want to be the best and show what they have to impress others. In my school that usually happens; people think that the more they show the better they are. The more expensive the clothes they wear the cooler they are. Eventhough it is my school and I love my school that anoys me a little because eventhough money does cover a lot of things in life, it does not cover everything. Therefore, in this book I like Jane a lot, She is not complicated.

However Mrs. Bennets vanity for her and her daughters increases. She send Jane to Netherfield so she could tell everybody that her daughter is soon going to get engaged to Bingley and that a male in the Bennets takes the bussines in case of Mr. Bennets death. The longer she stays there the better :" Jane should therefore, make the most of every half hour in which she can command his attention. When she is secure of him, there will be leisure for falling in love..." (Austen 15). Parental peer preasure might be very disturbing for every child. In this situation Jane has peer preasure from her mother to stay longer at the Bentley`s. Still she likes Mr. Bentley so it might not be so rough. Of course my parents want the best for me but, somethimes they put peer preasure on me when we look at Universities I want to go  and like, the preasure me and it is annoying.

Pride & Prejudice 1-4

Pride and prejidice is what this book talks about "a single man in possession of a good fortune" (Austen 1). Society has many unequalities and the main one is the money. Money is very important for the majority of the people. Money is what gives them food, clothes, shelter and a social status. Vain people care a lot of their social status as we can see in this lecture how Mrs. Bennet judges with out even knowing. She reminds me of The Great Gatsby. Gatsby a man who had nothing inside but only cared on what was on the outside. What I think that happened to him was that he preasured himself to be the best and then, society continued preasuring him.

Every father wants the best for its child. Mrs. Bennet probably wants the best gentelmen for her five daughters but, she is so focused on superficiality that she rushes. "They attacked him in various ways -with barefaced questions, ingenious suppositions, and distant surmises" (Austen 5), That family is such a gossip that by the "attacking questions" Austen shows the reader the jelousy that the Bennet`s have towards others.

Who is Fortainbras? & Act 5

A tragedy, what is a tragedy?
A tragedy is when a story or a play ends with deaths. Hamlet is a tragedy, Getrude Ophelia, Claudius and Hamlet die in the end. What makes a story tragic is not that people die at the begining of the story but at the very end. Hamlet was poisoned and before de died he gave an advice to young Fortainbras the next King of Denmark "On Fortainbras; he has my dying voice. / So tell him, with th`ocurrents, more and less, / Which have solicitated -the rest is silence." ( V.II.393-395) He also wishes his story to be told and dies. Why would Hamlet want his story to be told? Was Shakespear foreshadowing something that could happen to Fortainbras?

Fortainbras, prince of Norway. Hamlet King killed Fortainbras King and took the land but, young Fortainbras wanted the land back. Later Young Fortainbras decided to help Hamlet get the throne back from Claudius. Eventhough Hamlet did not stayed with the land Claudius had taken young Fortainbras did "For me, with sorrow I embrace my fortune/ I have some rights of memory in this kingdom, / which now to claim my vantage doth invite me."

Hamlet Outside of Denmark, Beyond Time

Freud on Hamlet:

Freud said: "the dream of nakedness(...) when one wishes to escape or hide". This is what is happening to Hamlet. He wants to escape from what he is living  and wants to die; "to be or not to be"(III.1.64). Hamlet is put through many peer preasure of himself, he wants to figure out who murdered his father and he constantly thinks about that, therefore; he is overwelmed with what is happening to him. This is a problem that is constantly in Hamlets mind and if you want to constantly think or dream about it you will always think about it: "The relation of our typical dreams to fairy-tales and other fiction and poetry is neither sporadic nor accidental." (Freud). We can see how this happens to Hamlet when his father`s gohst appears in act 1 scene : "I am thy father`s spirit," (I.5.14). "if anyone wishes to call Hamlet an hysterical subject I cannot but admit that this is the deduction to be drawn from my interpretation" ( Freud) What freud said in this quote is something that I consider very true. Hamlet is hysterical. He is irrational from fear which  makes him hysterical. Through out the play he had an anger, fear towards Claudius, his father`s assasin.

Is Hamlet the real problem of Hamlet?"Hamlet the play is the primary problem, and Hamlet the character only secondary."(T.S.Eliot). In fact he is a problematic character who will not rest until he gets revenge from his father`s murder therefore, he causes a constant tension between the characters, for example when he did the Mousetrap or play: "That`s wormwood!" (III.2.204). In this scene Hamlet wants to figure out if Claudius and Gertrude killed his father. The reaction they had towards the play ended up being relevant to what Hamlet wanted to know. Getrude is a character that has two faces and she summits Hamlets into a lot of preasure "Hamlet is up against the difficulty that his disgust is occasioned by his mother, but that his mother is not an adequate equivalent for it; his disgust envelops and exceeds her" ( T.S. Eliot). We see that she betrayed him in many different ways, for example when she killed Hamlet senior and married Claudius. Also when Hamlet accidentally killed Plonius she wanted to kill her own son.

Hamlet is an optimistic character. We can see that through out the play he is in a soul searching. He wants to find with himself and be satisfied. Since the begining of the story he has the preasure of his father`s gohst that he needs to take revenge of the murderers of his father. One of the actors of Discovering Hamlet (part 1) says "the part is in control of you" and what he might want to say is that Hamlet is such a hard character to interpret because he has so many going in his mind that he is indicicive of what he is doing all the time; he is such a great character that it controls you. In this play every character plays an important role"Shakespear gives each character to touch the audience" (part 3). For example Ophelia was a secondary character and she touched the audience when she is mad after her father`s death.

Act III.3

Shakespear shows an agressive Hamlet in Act III. Hamlet is put through many rough situations and he is alone in this one. In the play it is shown that he wants to make justice with his father`s death: "Mother, you have my father much offended" (III.4.13). Eventhough Gertrude is his mother he is going against her will and confronts he with what he does not agree. Revenge is something that Hamlet wants a lot in this moment and he is almost sure that Gerturude and Claudius had to do with his father`s death. When he is shouting at his mother he accidentally kills Polonius: "How now, a rat? Dead for a ducat, dead."(III.4.29). Shakespear portrays here an agressive Hamlet that the only thing he thinks about is revenge and kiling.

This situation can happen today in different aspects. For example when someone is blamed for something they have not done. In many cases they pay for the mistakes of others like it happened to Polonius. It is not fair and I consider that people should think before acting. Still we can see that Hamlet did not meant to kill Plonius but he did and it was an accident. Accidents happen but there are ways to prevent it and one of thoes ways is think before acting.

Act III.2

In Act III the environment is very mistic. Shakeaspear shows a mutual betrail between the characters. The King Claudius wants to know what is happening to Hamlet, why is he so transformed so he asked Ophelia to be a spy for him: "For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither,/ That he, as ’twere by accident, may here/ Affront Ophelia./ Her father and myself (lawful espials)/ Will so bestow ourselves that, seeing unseen,/ We may of their encounter frankly judge,/ And gather by him, as he is behaved,/ If ’t be the affliction of his love or no/ That thus he suffers for." (III.1.30-38). Here we can see that Claudius wants to know what is happening to Hamlet and he is arranging plans so he can figure it out.

Hamlet does not stay behind and also planned to uncover Claudius and Gertrude. He is almost sure that they had to do with his father`s death. Therefore, Hamlet set-up a play with a similar situation as that one he was going through and he would notice if they had something to do because of their reaction while watching the play: "The Mousetrap. Marry, how? Tropically. This play is the image of a murder done in Vienna." (III.2.22-23). In this act there has been shown more anger of Hamlet towards his fathers death and it is shown by the Mousetrap.

Act III.1

"To be or not to be" (III.1.64) Hamlet`s famous quote. Hamlet is transformed since his father`s murder and he is going mad. Death is something he thinks about very often. I do not know if he wants to die but, he has been suffering a lot and he is overwelmed: "To die, to sleep / (...) The heartache and the thousand of natural shocks" (III.1.68-70). He is devastated and death is the only thing he thinks about. Death because his father died, death because he wants to die.

In this speech Hamlet looks at death as something positive. I would say that death is not positive because you disapear from your love ones, you stop being aware that you existed, everything fades away. He sees death as an escape from the tragedy he is being summited. Death might be the escape of many problems but it is not the apropiate way to "solve problems". The problem will not be solved but evaded.

Hamlet - Character Comparison

Hamlet has been put through many things in so little time. His father, the king died and his mother re-married another king within a month. In the clip of Act 1 Scene 2 Hamlet is furious because his mother re-married someone else in  a short period of time. He does not agree with that. The Hamlet shown in this clip is shown as a gentle men by the way he walks and dreses, afterall the is a King. Eventhough he is devastated with his mom`s actions he does not loose himself by going crazy. The scene shows Hamlet as someone that can control himself. In the other clip, Act 2 Scene 2 the director shows the audience a transformed Hamlet. Hamlet seems devastated and upset with his mom, marrying another king and he is going crazy. Here Hamlet is shown as a completeley diferent character who does not look like a King. His costume represents a bad image of him, an image of a careless man because he is not in a formal uniform and is barefooted.

These two clips compared we can see two diferent Hamlets. Eventhoug both of them are devastated for the bad news of the queen they are shown as completley diferent people. Why might Hamlet have transformed so drastically? The same dilema was ocurring in boath scenes and many changes occur. The image of someone is important because it is what represents you. Here in both scenes it was the same Hamlet but since he had a different image it showed the viewer how weak can the character be or how strong can he reamin.

Krapp's Last Tape

Krapp shows himself as a man that has failed in life and that his dream has not been acomplished. That is shown when he listens to his tapes he had recorded througout his life. In the tapes he would tell expiriences he had, for exmaple his mother's death or even when he dated a women. With the tapes I noticed that in his "previoues life" he had been someone. He seems disapointed of himself because now he is old and nothing interesting happens in his life. When Krapp is listening to the tapes the audience can see that each time Krapp would isolate more and more from society.

In the play Krapp is the only character that appears but, I think that there are shown two sides of Krapp. There is shown the sucessful Krapp and solitary Krapp. The sucessfull Krapp is the Krapp of the recordings and the solitary Krapp is the man in the room eating bannana and listening to his tapes. While he listens to his tapes he shows disapointment on himself. How come he used to be a succesful man and came to  be a loner?

Endings

The Great Gatsby
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaslessly into the past."
We take everything into reverse and go back  from where we started.

The Road
"In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery"
Nature will reamain with it's enigma and it won't change, men will not be at its same pace.

The Road - Cormac McCarthy End

Hope is a topic that McCarthy shows throug out The Road. The hope that give the father to his child eventhough the world has been dstroyed. The father created a magical world to the boy from his memories. "In his dream she was sick and he cared for her. The dream bore the look of sacrifice
but he thought differently." (McCarthy 16). Here this is one of the fathers dream; he dreamed often with the mother.
"I wish I was with my mom.(...)
You musnt say that.(...)
We're survivors "McCarthy 28)
Here the it seem the child wants to surrender towards the situation they have been summited to  but, the father tells him they are "survivors" and I think that this might given strenght and hope to the boy.

"We're still the good guys.

And we always will be.

Yes. We always will be." (McCarthy 39)
The boy was worried of converting into one of the cannibals because the conditions they live in were very harsh. McCarthy shows the reader how still the father continues giving hope to his child.

"You're going to be okay, Papa. You have to.

No I'm not. Keep the gun with you at all times. You need to find the good guys

but you cant take any chances. No chances. Do you hear?" (McCarthy 149)
The father was strugulling to live untile he realized that he come to an end. The boy noticed it and the father gave him support and hope by telling him that there were still good people out there and eventhough they were on the south the boy had to continue his journey. And so the boy did and found a new family.

The Road - Cormac McCarthy 3

The Road is narrated and it tells the reader every detail of the setting. "The cold and the silence. The ashes of the late world carried on the bleak and temporal winds to and fro in the void." (McCarthy 6). Here we can see the descriptions that the narrator uses and makes the reader feel in the setting. With this quote when the narrator says "late world" he describes how the world is and he might mean that the world is so destroyed that it has been delayed. McCarthy makes the reader feel in the setting when the narrator says "the cold and the silence". This makes the reader feel in a sad and lonley environment, just like the one that the father and child were in.

When I was reading The Road the narrator made me feel in a sad environment because of the way he described the way of living of the dad and the boy. Also the way that the father talks to his child in a mature way  He also says what the charcters talk but he does not use quotations. Why would McCarthy do that? Does he want to avoid characterizing the father and the child?

"Can I ask you something? he said.

Yes. Of course.

Are we going to die?

Sometime. Not now." (McCarthy 5)
If I were to be summited to that I would not be able to hanndle it. We an see with the qoute that the boy recieved it calmly.

The Gardener`s Tale

Once there was a lonely gardener

He had worked all his life with good maners

A young man who had made money of his own.

But, he had nobody to share sice he was so lone

Though he had on his mind only one person

His boss`s daghter was the right person.

They would always stare at each other

Something strange was her mom starring the Gardener

There was a love triangle between them

But nobody had realized him.

The mom and daughter liked the gardener,

And the gardener liked the daughter.

He did not have the brightest ideas of all,

Approaching the mom to then approach the mall.

Each time he spoke more and more to the mom

Each time she would feel comfortable with rum

One day the mother called the gardener

She asked him to come in and gather.

He was seduced and had an affair

They continued even though he liked Blair.

The dad would leave early and return late,

The girl would go to school and return at eight.

Meanwhile the gardener and mom would have an affair.

One morning the girl was sick so she stayed

Then she was woken-up with strange sounds

Suddenly she went to her parent’s room.

Before she knocked, she looked through a hole

Her mom and gardener were having amour!

Quietly she stared but, her phone rang.

The gardener’s first reaction was bang!

The gardener had his ankle broke.

The daughter told his dad with hope

She was proud of it even though her heart was not.

The gardener was fired and so was the mom.

The Road - Cormac McCarthy 2

Death Makes you want to Live More

In The Road McCarthy constantly shows the reader death. He makes the reader a dead panorama; cities have been destroyed, there are no crops, no animals, no civilizations. We know that the boy`s mom died before the book even started and he is alone with his dad since the beggining of it. What they want the least is to die and it is something that they face through out the story. They have been put through living in houses with no roofs or even caves. If I would be in that situation still living I think I would not be able to take it anymore and evethough I were to be alive mentally, I would be dead. To be in that situation, knowing that you are alone "in the world" just with your child and that there is a group of canibals that want to eat you; you have to be mentally prepared.

The Road reminded me of AVATAR the movie because when Jake Sully is in his avatar in the forest of Pandora he had to be aware of everything that was surrounding him. Like the man Jake had to be aware of the people of the humans that wanted to kill him since he had "betrayed the human race", the canibals want to end with the  humans because they are famishing; therefore, the man is contantly aware when he walks through the roads. How could the man act so inteligent, eventhough people were trying to kill him? What was what made him act in a heroic way that pushed him to protect his child more and more?

The Road - Cormac McCarthy 1

Survival Changes 360º

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a book that has shoked me of what I have read. The key to life is survival and I know that people do what the can to survive. For example in "el monte" when people have been kid-napped some of them have survived because of the way they have interacted and faced reality. In this book the father has been protecting his child from everything, even in his sleep. He wakes up and the fist thing he does is touch his child verifying he is still there. He always carries a revolver with three bullets but, he used one because one of the canibals tried to kid-nap his child. In this scene we can see how the father does what he can to help his child survive by shooting the man and running away with his kid on the back.

The father and the boy are constantly surviving through out the story. There has been a natural disaster and there are no more crops, animal and people are famishing. They have to face a strong winter that makes them each time weaker and weaker. Their goal is getting to the coast were they think they might have a better way of life. This could be related to the people that have been "desplazado/a" and have had to survive with the only thing they have with them, most of the time their family. The desplazados have to continue with their lifes and try to do as much as they can to survive, like the man had to shoot a canibal that wanted to kid-nap is child. I do not think that the desplazados would do that but, I do belive that might risk many thing to save their love ones.

The Raven - Edgar Allan Poe

In The Raven the narrator is suffering a sorrow because he lost Lenore. Aparently a visitor comes; but, it is not an ordinary visitor, it is a raven. The narrator could be related to the raven because the raven represents lonliness. He also looks desperate by the way he starts telling the raven that it is evil.

What happened to the narrator it could be related with myself because sometimes I feel lonley since my parents are not comprehensive. That way I feel alone and despair; it makes me think non-senses. For example when the narrator started shouting to the raven "Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil!" He looked mad. This happen when people have sad and depressing moments, he lost Lenore.

I wonder why did Poe elected a raven instead of a human or a "fictional" crature? I think that he might of chosen the raven because ravens are loners and are scary animals. The scenery matched with the story because it gave the reader a cold environment of a "lonley" graveyard.

Pardoners Tale

In this story there are three men at a ar drinking and gabling meanwhile there is a funeral out side. When they go out side to take a sneek peek they meet with a strage man that showed them the way to "eternal life" and where death was. When the thee men arrive there what they find bars of gold. Meanwhile one of them goes out the two that stayed planed to kill him so they could stay with the gold. In this scene there is a lot of ambition and hipocracy; it shows the limit that people can reach when there is a fortune in the way. But, when the man returned he poisone the two mens food so he stayed with all the gold.

This showed that everyone most of the time try to reach power and people even risk friendships to obtain what they want. Hypocracy is a main theme here because it is what the three friends do to each other. Ambition is another tipic because the three men wanted more and more. Didn`t they thought before of the consecuences of their actions?
This reaminds me of the empire of Alexander The Great because he wanted more and more power. It came to a limit that his own friends got tired of him and there was a rumor that he was poisoned by his friends because they could not take any more the struggle and battles that Alexander had put them through. Here we can see that there is hipocracy or back stabbing and also the ambition that Alexander had for more power.

Wife of Bath

Prologue

A women that has been married to five different men makes me thing of someone with a lot of insecuritues because he/she has to be constantly with someone. That person might have insecurities of being left alone. In every different menthe women would find a unique like, so is she a player? or was she actually in love with all five men?

Story

Superfeciality is something that many people care about and in the Wife of Bath Tale the knight cared a lot of superfecility and that is why he was not satified with his marriege. That marriage was a hurried decition but, it saved his life. If it weren`t for her he would have been dead.

I think that this topic can be related to the movie Mean Girls. In that school students are divided superfecially by their appereance. Just like the knight used to focus only in women with a good appereance. At the end of the movie the caracters realize that what really matters is what is insede not on the surface. The knight at the end of the sory realized that if he learned to love his old and ugly women just the way she was he would see thebeautiful in him.

The Millers Tale

The Millers Tale is a funny story from The Canterburry Tales an ancient book. The genre is a dark comedy because the reader laughs at the bad things that happen to the characters because they become funny.

Dark comedy is when the reader/viewer laughs or thinks its funny when something negative happens to one of the characters. In this case for example when Nicolas and Alison have an affair and they do tuff so John(Alisons husband) does not caught them. Nicolas plays being ill and Alison has to take "care" of him. Even when Nicolas invented John a long story telling him that here was going to be a draungh like in Noas Ark so he had to follow specific rules like not looking or touching his wife while  the draught happeed. At the end of the story he died and Alison and Nicolas said he died because he was madd, very crazy.

There is also dark comedy with Absalom who is a character that I considered very anoying because he was not an ineresting character that would anoye the reader by his dumbness. "...Crul was his heer, and as the gold it shoon,...And strouted as a fanne large and brode;" the way he is discribed made me think as if he was dumb and discordinated. Through out the story he was hitting on Alison but did not get annything from her because she liked Nicolas. When he even realized that she was havig an affair with Nicolas and wanted John to realize his plan did no pann out and Alison did not liked him more than what she used to. The ones that ended up winning were Alison and Nicolas because they got rid of John and making Absalom suffer in some scenes for example when he wanted to kiss Alison but he ended up kissing Nicolas; or when he is hitting on Alison while she is with John and he is out in the window screaming Alisons name.

I think that John and Absalom where characters fooled by others in the story and that is what makes it part of the dark comedy. Eventhough they were fooled and made fun of they formed the dark comedy in this story.

A Knights Tale

"In the game and in the love everything is accepted" This is what my grandmother tells me often when we play cards and she makes a move that makes her win. In love, romance anything is worthid. People take risks to  be with the one they love; they even break the rules and get to the limit for love.

Geoffrey Chaucer an english writter/poet wrote A Knights Tale; which is a  prose of mithological characters. Palamon and Arcite were cousins who falled in love with the same women. They started up in the prison of their enemy and ended up as enemies. They were forced to fight to obtain the love of a women called Emeley. Eventhough they were cousins they pray and fought until the end that Arcite is killed by a night, and tells Emeley that Palamon should be the man that she should be with “...trouthe, honour, knyghthede, / Wysdom, humblesse...” are the words that Arcite  describes Palamon and it made me realize that at the end the two cousins had love for each other eventhoug they loved the same person.

Migrations -Dorian Merina

Migrations is a poem and a shortfilm written by Dorian Merina. Dorian tells the reader the dificulty with imigrants in the world, specially in the americas and in africa. She also talked about the conquista, which made me feel unconfotable while I was watching the clip because the narrator said it so simple that it showed no importance. This poem has made me think a lot of the conquista and the slavery arround the world.

The way the poems starts "On the boats come the goods that cross the waters" I interpreted it as if a nation is on a voyage to new horrizons and it makes me wonder if the voyage will be a failure or succesful. This could also be related to a real life expirience for imigrants that move to different countries in order to live a different life.

The narrator continued with a list of food that is grown in the americas; such as, avocado, calanaza. Then there is a list of the races of the people that have integrated between each other and it made me think of Thanksgiving because the Pilgrims and the Indian natives decided to  share the wealth.

"...of smooth-abdomened ants carry blond eggs..." is a quote that reminded me of a movie, Gone With the Wind; which talks about the American Civil War for colored people`s rights. Scaret (Leigh) is a women of a wealthy family with slaves and eventhough U.S.A is on war the slaves (ants) would be taking care of her(blond eggs) and would be protected as if she were part of their family.

Migrations ending is the closing of the poems as if it was the return to home. This can be shown as a real life challenges; someones dream may begin on the right foot but, it may end in the wrong foot. Eventhoug the spaniards conquered the Americas and expanded their territory, they caused a lot of missery by tourturing the natives. As well as in Gone With the Wind, Scarlet had her slaves for a long time but, she ended up in the missery with nothing  in her hands. Dorian Merina showed the reader that this can happen in many different  societies and it is something that will happen constantly. She opened the poem with what she ended it; therefre, eventhough something is over there will be a new movement starting.
